Packaging quality control issue or just a hoax?
Posted on October 23rd, 2009
After taking a sip of a Diet Pepsi a customer found something funny in the can… After dumping out the can, Mr. Denigris said it looked like “pink linguini followed by black stuff.” The FDA was called in to pick up the “foreign matter”, they confirmed it was in fact remnants of a toad.
Confident in their quality control process, Pepsi denied that it could have ever entered the can during the manufacturing process. The FDA later conducted an inspection of the manufacturing facility and said there was no cause for concern.
Denigris also said that after they gave the specimen to the FDA, Pepsi has neglected to call them or even issue an apology.
Could this have all been a hoax by Denigris or does Pepsi really have a bigger quality control issue on their hands?
